This is what makes football worth watching.

While Sky continue to harp on about how the Premier League is the best in the world, England have been dumped out of a major tournament - this time at the hands of Iceland. Goals by Sigurdsson and Sigthorsson over-rode Wayne Rooney's early penalty, putting Iceland through to the quarter-finals of the Euros to face France. Roy Hodgson has resigned in the wake of the defeat, but Iceland took the opportunity to launch into one of the coolest celebration rituals we've ever seen, clapping and chanting with their fans as if they're getting ready for battle - instead of having just won one. An inspiration to underdogs everywhere. Watch this. https://twitter.com/PaddyMcKenna/status/747534718409773056
